My interpretation of my religion states that homosexuality is a sin; so if a vote ever came up, I stated, I would vote against SSM. That vote never occured SCOTUS interpreted a law to state SSM must be recognized Nationwide. I fully accepted this decision andhave since moved on; may (see mirror) have not.
I am a "God's will be done" type person and this is currently his will. Why/ Who knows.
At no time in my heart have I ever had hate for a homosexual. Similar to I abhor the act of abortion; however, I do not hate the young lady that makes the decision; nor those that carry out the proceedure.
Somewhere along the way you were taught to hate the person that does not share your beliefs; while I hate the action and influence.
What are the Biblical reasons for divorce? So what I have difficulty understanding is why isn't there the same push to ban divorce for reasons inconsistent with the Bible from the same people who want to ban same sex marriage based upon Biblical reasons . . . if they want to protect the sanctity of marriage. I understand you can't give the reason for why others think the way they think and I'm not asking you to do so. I'm just voicing my opinion on what I see as a major inconsistency from that group of people.
As to hate the sin, love the sinner; I don't really see that happening in everyday life. Let's just use pedophiles as an example because they are pretty much universally regarded as scum and we have had several threads regarding pedophiles. Hate the sin, love the sinner is kinda like saying Jerry Sandusky is a great guy, love the guy; except for ass ***** scores of little boys. The act is what makes Jerry Sandusky a POS. I can't love someone like him.
